Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

"Every servant of Allah who fasts for a day, for the sake of Allah, will find his face farther from fire (or Hell) to the extent of distance to be covered in seventy years." (Agreed-upon)




Lessons Deduced:
1.Observing Fast, even for only one day, is a virtuous act that will protect its doer from the Hell-Fire.
2. Allah will make one who observes Fast away from Hell for a distance to be covered in seventy years.
